Hutchinson  Police say a man suspected in a child molestation case in central Kansas has been found murdered in Poland.

Hutchinson Police Sgt. John Taylor says his department has confirmed with the FBI and family members of a 21-year-old man that he was murdered in Warsaw, Poland on Dec. 23. The Hutchinson News reports that media in Poland say the man's 18-year-old boyfriend tortured and strangled him.

The suspect fled the country after being charged with molesting a 12-year-old boy, whom he mentored in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Hutchinson. He posted bond and then did not appear for trial Sept. 20.
